Pretty happy with the low key design.

Yes, and it does a great job of keeping the rear end down. Real functional!!!

Thank you. Vegas is correct. They are H&R 12mm spacers with H&R 43mm extended bolts, I also swapped stock front bolts for silver ones to keep all wheels matching. I could not find black bolts anywhere. You could easily do 15mm spacers if you would like.

Great thanks.

Looks great ! Did you consider a roof spoiler ? I did the M5 trunk spoiler and then added an ACS style roof spoiler, very subtle and low profile but adds a slightly heavier look to the back end. Spacers ? does this widen the track of the back wheels ? Aside from a wider appearance I would guess maybe better stance for cornering ??
Cheers

Thank you. Looked at the roof spoiler and like it, for now one or two things at a time. My decision on the spacers was purley cosmetic, although I believe the manufacturers would want you to believe in performance. If you want details you best get opinions from others on forum, they know much more then I do.

Regards

Love the Lip! I guess the spacers look good...everyone says so, but I guess I need to see before and after pics to really judge.

Thanks. The spacers are subtle as well. I guess the point being....they don't look worse.

Just a few more questions...

Are the bolts taper or ball? And what is the length of the stock (front) bolts?

Thanks

Purchased from Turner motorsport. The bolts are taper and the stock length is 29mm. For 12mm spacer use the 43mm bolts. Turner was good with service and in stock, delivered in 2 days.
